Newsmaker: Electronic Cigarettes
Ms. Berg is not very good at this. As a pro poker player, I can easily see the parts where she knows she's lying.
I think it's actually a pretty good news cast. Pretty neutral reporting with the exception of the "They appeal to kids" parts. I think overall it sheds a positive light on E-cigs. I'm pretty sure most of us in one way or another want them to be regulated to some extent. With no regulation this business will soon be crawling with harmful products with mysterious ingredients just like Tobacco is. My only real gripe about e-cigs is that I think people are pressing their luck with them by trying to advertise their vaping, by vaping in places where smoking is not allowed. I believe the more discrete we are, the better we'll fair in the end. I mean, if your going to vape on an airplane, go in the bathroom. Don't give people a reason to protest and our chances of being able to continue vaping for years to come will be much better.
Also discussed in the following dedicated threads (as well as some general discussion threads), listed in order of appearance:

Darn it! I did a search before posting...did not find anything on it, so I posted it..
One thing I think would help avoid double postings is not to change the headlines of articles when posting, so it (hopefully) would come up in a search and it would help not double posting.
PS: It looks like the first link I posted had not been posted elsewhere yet.

Hope I didn't come off like the board-police; that wasn't my intention. My main reason for pointing it out was that several people had already commented in those other threads and I figured there may be interest what they had to say as well.
You're right, though, it's almost impossible to effectively search through so much content and it would be much easier if an article's headline was used as the thread title.

Don't worry, LOL...I was not upset or take it as such...just frustrated because I always try to avoid double posting any article.Originally Posted by Scottitude
I hadn't seen the second story, but I commented on the one with the Dr. Berg interview.
The second story loses it's sound for me at the Letterman clip. Is that happening to anyone else?
Yes, the video has no sound for me at the Letterman point also :-( but when I clicked on the video below the one you are watching (with the box of e-cig in the picture) I saw the same report but the sound continued even when getting to the Letterman part.

Same here with the 2nd video.
I wonder why the anti's keep saying "we don't know". Don't they research even a tiny little bit? At least some are not repeating the same FDA spoon fed pablum that others did earlier in the year.
Dr. Berg appeared extremely unprepared to present her case. She stammered & stuttered throughout the whole interview. That didn't bode well for her to me, and I would suspect any casual viewer might also find her unconvincing. I DO wonder why the e-cig vendor "walked off the set", though. It seemed to me that the newsperson was at least slightly pro vaping. Has to be "more to the story" we aren't hearing.
